The Mess

[TheReal_ND]

I totally agree with all you guys... but I have one little quibble we should all address...

Does it involve Adolf Hitler and thermonuclear weapons? Are you secretly Dan Carlin's sock puppet?

I never really understood what the term concern troll meant... for some reason I thought it meant that somebody was inventing problems on the interweb to get concern from people, like digital munchausen by proxy... but now that seems obviously idiotic.

Well that's exactly what it means. Inventing problems to get a certain faction to purity spiral in on itself. Much the same as the Echo Camber threads you would see on the DCF. See, ssu is really good at this. No doubt he should be as a Finn because they are basicaly on the front lines of memetic warfare. If you see something positive that a group of people agree with you can call that arena an echo chamber what not. Get them to start attacking each other over eternal ideals. That's concern trolling. Problem is, so much of it goes on in the media you lose track of where the front line is and where valid criticism comes in to play. That's where you need some IQ points and shiet.

Yeah, that's exactly it, Hwen tried that with the "but, but...Reason magazine says", as reason magazine is not liberal, therefore the Paulites over at reason magazine could never be concern trolls, when in fact libertarians are even bigger concern trolls than liberals are.

Oh, the internet.

Helped elect literally Hitler. Cool your jets. We got this. I think sporstball is on and you can watch that without getting memed too much.

[Hanarchy Montanarchy]

Don't be so sure.

In fact I would argue that memes are in fact as old as language.

The home team has likely been memeing the living shit out of me.

[TheReal_ND]

Well I only dropped by to talk about modern warfare I couldn't help but notice someone disparage memes. I maintain it is not wise to do so. If you don't into, that's fine too, but I'm a veteran of the meme war and I'm just going to say; that shit is real and it does take a toll on every fiber of your mental well being.

[Okeefenokee]

The meme war. That's a comfy battlefield if I ever saw one.

[TheReal_ND]

Comfy my ass.

[Smitty-48]

Liberals brought the meme war down upon their own heads, they chose to go Jon Stewart on the Right for so many years, that the Right just came back in the form of Herr Trump and beat them at their own game. The liberals are kicking themselves now for not just running their troll for President instead of lame ass Hillary. The Right beat them to the punch for once, and the meme war was a rout.

Trump was the New News, Hillary was like some stale shit from the 80's, the Right changed the rules, the liberals simply missed the bus and were taken by surprise.

[Hanarchy Montanarchy]

Is the ability to troll going to become an important qualifier for all future presidents... like having a good haircut became after Kennedy?
